Got to stand in a three inch river after a long nights rain and feet were super dry. Great for hiking when you aren't going off trail. I forgot to wear pants and long socks so i got Chiggers in the ankles. Not the shoes fault. I climbed part of Mt Mitchell as my FIRST hike in these shoes. Never did I feel like my feet hurt or were tired. Super comfortable. Super dry and warm.

I purchased this jacket for Ohio weather. the Who-knows-what-youre-gonna-get weather. I went to KY Red River Gorge and we got poured on. This was my first time using this jacket and I decided to test it. I was standing in the pouring rain for an hour and a half playing like a little child. Never got wet. Except I forgot to wear long pants. :) This jacket is amazing for cooler/rainy weather and I am surper positive with the high neck and inner vest lining that it will keep me warm during the blustery winter moments that we get.
